723 Disaster Class (Part 2)

Cedar looked at the destruction that Evan's attack caused and felt his head spinning.

'Even a Peak Rank One Core Evolver wouldn't be able to unleash such a power easily' Cedar said inwardly, feeling shocked that Evan was just a Beigginer Level Rank One Core Evolver.

Cedar had never left the Dark Forest because of the situation of the Dryads in the outside world, but he had heard about many geniuses from Sylvan.

But even those geniuses were nothing when he compared them to Evan.

As Cedar was lost in thoughts, Evan walked out of the house and saw him standing with a dazed look on his face.

Evan raised an eyebrow seeing the strange expression on Cedar's face and walked towards him.

"Hello, are you alright?" He asked thinking that there might be something wrong with this guy.

Hearing Evan, Cedar came back to his senses and shook his head.

"I am fine, I was just surprised after seeing your fight," Cedar said with a smile on his face. "You are very powerful."

Evan was surprised when he heard Cedar because he did not expect him to compliment him. Although Evan was not sure, he could tell that Cedar was quite strong and he might not be able to beat him even after using all of his strength.

'I need to create a strong shadow undead as soon as possible...' Evan thought, feeling somewhat uncomfortable that all of his shadow undeads were weaker than him and he could not depend on them to act like a big boss.

"I am Cedar, grandpa Sylvan told me that you are the son of his friend and sent me here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

'Son of his friend...' Evan looked at Cedar with a weird look on his face but did not comment on this.

'It seems in order for other Dryads to not show any hostility towards me he said that I the son of his friend.' Evan thought inwardly and smiled slightly.

"I am Evan. Thanks for coming here, there are indeed a few things that I want to ask you."

"No problem, let's go inside. Grandpa told me that you came to Utopia using the Tower of Ascension so I am sure there are many things that you want to ask."

Evan nodded his head hearing Cedar and both of them went inside the house.

If it was before, Evan would have definitely found it hard to communicate with Cedar, but after the effect of his title The Cursed One reduced by 50%, it became easy for him to control his emotions.

Although he still preferred to stay alone, it was way better than before where he didn't even want to get close to anyone or talk to them.

Evan and Cedar went into the living room of the house and sat down on the leather sofas that were inside the room.

After sitting down, Cedar took out two tea cups and a strange transparent wooden gourd from his storage ring. The gourd was engraved with some strange runes and was filled with tea.

Smelling the fragrance of the tea, Evan's face turned strange.

'When was the last time I drank tea?' He asked himself and immediately received the answer.

'In my past life,' He said, remembering his otaku days when he used to drink coffee and tea like water to stay awake all night in order to play games.

'Damn it, I am suddenly missing my peaceful days.'

"Try it, it is the tea made from the leaves of the World Tree. It can help you clear your mind and improve the quality of your world essence."

Evan came out of his thoughts hearing Cedar and raised an eyebrow.

''Leaves of the World Tree...'' Evan said with a look of interest on his face and thought about what had happened earlier.

'What is the relationship between this World Tree and The Universal Tree' Evan thought, feeling that this World Tree was somehow connected with the Universal Tree that was obliterated by the man in his memories.

Earlier, Evan wanted to ask Sylvan about the World Tree but he thought it would be strange if he suddenly started to ask him about the World Tree, after all, he just met him and it would only make Sylvan suspicious about him if he started to ask about the World Tree.

"Thank You," Evan thanked Cedar for the tea and picked up the cup.

When Evan smelled the tea, his mind became extremely calm as if he had just drank a Tranquility Potion.

Evan was shocked when he noticed this and looked at the teacup in his hand with a stunned expression on his face.

Slowly, he brought the teacup near his mouth and took a sip.

The moment Evan took a sip, his mind became extremely clear and he felt as if his comprehending ability increased by two times. Feeling the change in his state of mind, Evan immediately wanted to close his eyes to increase his understanding of Void Energy, but he knew that it was not the time for this.

Not only that, once he drank the tea, the tea turned into a gentle stream of energy and merged with the World Essence that was flowing inside his body, increasing its quality.

'Fu*k, this tea is damn awesome...' Evan shouted inwardly and looked at the tea in his hand with gleaming eyes.

Cedar noticed the shocked expression on Evan's face and smiled lightly.

It was not easy for him to get his hands on this tea and he drank it only while cultivating. If not for the fact that Sylvan had told him to take care of Evan, he wouldn't have taken out this tea.

"So what do you want to ask?" Cedar asked after seeing Evan's expression finally return to normal.

Hearing Cedar, Evan looked at him and thought for a second.

There were actually many things that he wanted to ask like if he knew anything about the Forbidden Land of Utopia that the spirit of the Tower Of Ascension talked about or some information about the Core Evolvers because he was still ignorant about their abilities.

But before asking these questions, there was still one thing that he wanted to know first.

"Do you know Ashley?"

Cedar raised an eyebrow when he heard Evan and looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he was asking about Ashley. Although he was confused, he still nodded his head.

"Of course, I know her. In fact, I don't think there is any Dryad who doesn't know her."

'It seems she is well known figure among the Dryads' Evan thought inwardly and asked in a serious voice.

"What is her rank?"

Although Evan could feel that Cedar was powerful, he knew that he was far weaker than Ashley.

Looking at Cedar, he got the feeling that if he used all of his skills, authorities and Shadow Undeads, he would be able to put a fight against him. But when Ashley attacked him, Evan felt as if he had no chance of winning against her.

Although he holds no grudge against her after learning about the situation of Dryads from Sylvan, he at least wanted to know her rank so that he could understand why he felt there was no chance for him to win against her.

"Ashley's Rank?" Cedar was surprised when he heard Evan's question but he soon smiled and said in a voice filled with respect.

"Ashley is the second strongest Dryad here. She is only weaker than Grandpa Sylvan and already reached Disaster Level."
